FOSS Galaxy Game Library

A library for building FOSS Games, Educational Resources and Academic Experiments.

Development Instructions

Building

It's designed to be a fairly standard cmake project, so the standard cmake steps should work:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

The library should also build the test scene (demo). There is a shellscript in the root of the project that will build the project and run the demo project in gdb.

Most of the dependencies should be downloaded automatically. If you're on X don't use glfw from the Fedora repos, it won't work (it's configured for Wayland). The version the project builds should work.

Useful Tools

The following tools are helpful for development:

• Valgrind (see the ways in which memory is messed up)
• RenderDoc (see what's being sent to the GPU)
• GDB (see what caused the crash this time)
• An Editor/IDE (I'm using neovim with a bit of clion)
